Wooden Storage Sheds

Is your garage and house overflowing with stuff? Do you need extra storage space or just a place to work? If you are tired of tripping over junk while trying to get into your car or work in the garage then it’s time to buy a wooden storage shed.

I’m writing this blog to help you decide what type of wooden storage shed best suits your needs. There are so many different types of wooden storage sheds out there it can be a little confusing and time consuming to figure out which one is worth your money. I’m going to give you the basics on wooden storage sheds and things to look for when buying your wooden storage shed.

There are many different models and styles of wooden storage sheds available. You have a few options like buying a prefabricated shed, one that you need to just put together like a wooden storage shed kit and you could even get plans to build one from ground up. It all depends on your skill level and weather you like to build things. If you do not like to put things together then you might want to think about buying a wooden storage shed that is ready to go.

The three basic materials used to build backyard sheds, wood, metal and vinyl. Depending on what you are using your backyard shed for you will need to decide which one best suits your application. They all have their advantages and disadvantages so it all comes down to preference and practicality.

Another thing that you will need to consider is the foundation. Depending on the size and style of your wooden storage shed you might not need a foundation. However, it is a good idea to make sure the area for the shed is flat and level. If the ground is not level and flat your wooden storage shed will not last very long and the doors might be hard to open.

There are three types of foundations used depending on the size of your shed, whether you need to move it in the future, what you are using it for and price. The three foundations are, pier and beam, concrete slab and treated wood runners. The best foundation to use is concrete because it provides you with a floor and a foundation for your wooden storage shed.

If you live in an area that gets a lot of snow then you will need to make sure that the roof will hold the weight of the snow. This applies more to woodsheds then metal or vinyl. Another thing to think about is how you will tie it to the ground if you live in a windy area.
